It&#8217;s a video recording of everything you see and do on your computer screen, with your voice in the background describing the action.<\/p>\n<p>You might be saying, &#8220;That&#8217;d cost too much, though! Besides, I&#8217;m not tech-savvy enough to put something complicated like that together.&#8221; Never fear! That&#8217;s where <a href=\"http:\/\/www.screenr.com\/\">Screenr.com<\/a> comes in.

It&#8217;s a simple process which doesn&#8217;t involve programming, video or audio editing, or a great deal of time. There&#8217;s no software to download. The only hardware accessory you need is a microphone, which may even already be built into your computer.<\/p>\n<p>Once you finish your video, you can publish it on <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Twitter\" rel=\"homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\">Twitter<\/a>, <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"YouTube\" rel=\"homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">Youtube<\/a>, or your own site in just a few steps, so that your video is published in record time, ready to be enjoyed by the masses.
